Political Science

The completion of a degree in political science has long been recognized as sound undergraduate preparation for careers in law, business, politics, social work and public administration.

The major is designed to produce a graduate with a solid understanding of the institutions of government; their relationship to politically active non-governmental organizations; the articulation and implementation of public policy; and the role of the informed citizen in a liberal-democratic system of government.
